Chapter Eleven.
Sara was holding Dani’s hand as they walked up the stairs to Dani’s knew home. Sara and Grissom had already moved in, and also had Dani’s room set up. Since Sara and Grissom were two of the CSI’s that had investigated the burglary of where Dani lived, before she was kidnapped, so they signed for her things, the little she had, and already put them in her new room.
Grissom put the key into the lock, and glanced behind him at Sara and Dani, catching a small smile from Sara. Sara looked down at the little girl’s hand, which she was holding, she felt like she was treating Dani like she was younger than twelve, but it was just to comfort her.
“Ready?” Sara said softly to the girl. Dani looked up at Sara with a smile. Grissom opened the door and walked into the apartment. He slipped his shoes off onto the mat beside the door. Sara also slipped her shoes off, and Dani caught on and did the same.
The twelve year old looked around, the walls were a deep shade of purple, blending well with the dark brown shelves that matched each other that held books and various things throughout this room of the apartment. A plant or two was visible at a quick glance around the room sitting on dark brown shelves that matched the others. Butterflies were framed and hung up on the wall, which was one thing that caught Dani’s eye at first glance. A small desk sat in the corner beside a bookshelf, that had tons of books on it. Dani turned around and there was a couch and two chairs in front of a TV, making it seem like a secluded part of the room.
“Want to see your room?” Sara asked. Dani turned around and nodded while smiling. Sara walked towards a mini hallway and Dani followed, she noticed a cluttered bathroom that looked to be about the size of a closet on her right. The bathroom had pearl coloured walls with a turquoise stripe going across the center of the wall. Sara stopped at a white door, and Dani looked up at her, wondering why she had stopped. “Go in,” Sara said and looked at the door.
Dani turned the doorknob and opened the door to see a light blue and dark purple striped room. The curtains were the same shade of blue, but had big purple and pink butterflies on them. The bed matched the curtains, blue with pink and purple butterflies. The room was pretty small, there was only a bed, a shelf and a little desk, but it had more in it than Dani was expecting. The shelf was pink, matching the pink in the curtains, and had a CD player on top of it, the rest of the shelf was being used to hold various books that Sara thought Dani would like. The desk had a clock on it, but nothing else. Beside the shelf, was a closet.
Dani ran to Sara and hugged her. Sara smiled at the fact that Dani liked her room.
“How did you know I like butterflies?” Dani asked.
Sara smiled, “The first day we met, in the hospital, you had a butterfly beside your eye.”
“Then the nurse washed it off,” Dani said, her mind drifting to when the nurse took the SAE kit.
“Dani?” Sara said.
Dani snapped out of it and ran to Grissom, who was standing beside Sara, and hugged him. Usually, Grissom didn’t like random hugs, but he hugged her back.
They were basically a family.
